This was a brilliant piece. I have been learning about these islands for years, and I have never heard that they were more radioactive than the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Ecologically, it is really fascinating how things are developing on those islands today. There are adaptations and some mutations that are really interesting to research and track.

[@bob1423able]

So I actually toured the Chernobyl zone and they mentioned that part of the reason it's not as radioactive as bomb sites is because the radiation went up and out, instead of out at ground level. The bombs explode in a way that distributes their power, and radioactivity, across ground level, but the factory in pripyat had smoke and radiation billowing out the top, which then rained down but over a much larger radius

[@daisuke910]

@@bob1423able The way it explodes matters and the vector (one is dropped down while the other a static implodes) , I would say.

What's sad is those Japanese fishermen thought the radioactive ash falling on them was snow and revelled in it only to come back home with sever radiation poisoning and die :(

[@BigFalconar]

To clarify that - 1 or 2 died in the first 6 months. The rest all received some type of cancer diagnosis within 30 years of the incident. Some as little as 6 months out, some 20 years later. But Lucky Dragon # 5 incident followed them. Hence in Godzilla, when you see him, he eventually kills you. (The fisherman that survives the incident dies at the next Godzilla attack on the island.) Look up Big Action Bill's docuseries on the Godzilla franchise. Extremely well done series that I can't recommend enough.

During the first nuclear bomb test, Enrico Fermi was tearing up pieces of paper and dropping them to the ground. When asked, he explained that he was testing if the air pressure changed, because that would indicate they had created a chain reaction that was going to burn off Earth's atmosphere.

[@tinkerer7813]

I'd love to see you elaborate more on this story. Especially the story of the people who were displaced, the country that they're from, and the leaders that took a stand to have this type of manipulation and exploitation of people and natural resources (which are so so precious to the sustainence of these people) stopped. I think it's something that also needs to be highlighted.

13:40 as stupid as some of those questions sound, it's not a joke. Physicist were genuinely scared before blowing up the first one in New Mexico that this could ignite the atmosphere burning everything to death. And it was considered a legit theory which was calculated through many many times. Thing is with scientists not knowing what cascade reactions can happen inside an atom bomb beyond a certain point at that time, they couldn't really know what amount of energy to get released in such an explosion, so they couldn't really show that it would definitely not happen. Actually a lot of the most well known physicists at that time warned not to do it exactly for that reason.
